Carb/intake combo?

Some carbs have linkage interference issues on certain intake manifold creating a vacuum leak.



its an edlbrock torker and edlbrock carb. like i said this combo worked before so it has to be the longblock. i know you guys know more than me so if I have to take it back to the guy or try to get him to pay for some fixes i need to know what to say to him.



You bought a motor on C/L & you think your gonna get the seller to pay to fix it.. Never mind that it's not gonna be a problem with the long block.... Find someone with more experience than your friend...


This post is far as I read.

Yea as soon as I read where you blamed the "long block" I knew you needed a better helper.
How could the block and heads be at fault as long as the cam is in right? I'll bet you don't have enough intial timing, I'll bet that has been suggested already. Your in the right place to learn.
